What's in a Name?

A name is such a special thing.  We are called by it our entire lives.  God knows us, by name!  A name is special and even if we have people with our "same name" we know that we are special because of our name and our family.  We learned yesterday that we have been pronouncing Aiyu's name incorrectly.  We thought it was "eye-ya".  Turns out, Aiyu is pronounced "eye-you".  It means "beautiful jade".  Cool, huh?!  I love it!  We have chosen to rename her Joylee Aiyu Wells once we have her home.  Joylee is a combination of Joy, in honor of my late mother.  Lee, is Kristine's middle name as well as her mother's middle name.  We will keep Aiyu as her middle name in honor of her heritage.  Now, if you know me, you know that I love nicknames.  I have been calling Bethany "Beamer" and "Beam" since before she was born.  These special "Daddy only" names are important to me and Bethany has grown up being called Bethany, Beamer or Beam by her daddy.  I have been wondering about a nickname for Joylee Aiyu.  After learning about her name meaning "beautiful jade" I'm thinking about my special "Daddy only" nickname for her being "Jade".  It's a node to the meaning of her birth name.  I'll see if that fits her and let you know.
